Once in a while Bogus Slogan gets to have some fun. One of their favorites is the Proletariat Artists League. An ever changing group of promoters, who will promote any thing, event or style.
People and companies that want to hire the PAL, fulfill something from the group's published wish list. In return, the client's every need will be met, sometimes before the client knows he was without. When the Proletariat Artists League works with Bogus Slogan, there is always a side bet.
This time, BS, had the call. The League would not know the bet until 24 hours prior to the show at the Lincoln Gardens in Chicago. The promoters only hint was that the bet had something to do with the opening acts. The band thought that it would be nice to hear some vintage Dylan. So the bet required that a 1965 era Bob Dylan play on the undercard.
The League gave ZenithPointStudio the two undercard names (Bosso • Talma • Bosco and Marcel Vajean) before the ink was dry on the contract. The studio concert poster was printed two days later.
Come the concert, PAL presented 3 Dylan impersonators: Bosso was all acoustic • Talma was the 65 - 66 Dylan • & Bosco stole the show with his performance of Nashville Skyline.
Marcel Vajean was just a guy who had won one of the League's fund raising contests. Open for Bogus Slogan...
